Major Y [an American who went to Israel to fight] and other people on the ground I have spoken with say that they estimate about one in every two or three [civilian] homes in Gaza they go into has military weaponry, including AK47s, grenades and rocket launchers. And they routinely find entrances to Hamas’s terror tunnels inside civilian houses. And not just anywhere, but most often in the children’s bedrooms and even under cots.
Very strictly speaking, I kinda agree. Western legacy media is the mouthpiece of the ultra-wealthy, and supports continued economic colonialism of the Middle East. That currently happens to coincide with Israel’s interests, so functionally they’re hard to tell apart.
However, I think saying they’re actually Israel’s mouthpiece comes dangerously close to some of the legitimately antisemitic deep-state conspiracy theories.
Maybe this is just semantics, but I do think the distinction is somewhat important.
